Nature Inspired Abstract Painting Class

Create your own abstract painting by experimenting with layering inks, watercolors, acrylics, and oil pastels.



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests       £40

Join this half-day abstract painting workshop and create your own unique artwork inspired by the movement of nature. You'll spend the session experimenting with an array of materials – including layering inks, watercolours, acrylics, and oil pastels – to see how they interact on the page.
Your teacher, Martha, will lead you through short, step-by-step demonstrations to show you how to work intuitively. You'll discover the secrets of complementary colour combinations and the beautiful effects created by layering paper shapes and stencilling. With only six people in each class, you'll have plenty of individual guidance and a supportive environment to help you feel confident as you play with different techniques.
Everything you need is provided for you, from the professional materials to the tea, coffee, and biscuits, so you can simply show up and enjoy a low-pressure creative break. It’s a great place to start if you're a first-timer, but there’s also plenty of depth for those with more experience who want to try a new way to have fun with mixed media.
You'll finish the session feeling completely absorbed by the process, walking away with a one-of-a-kind masterpiece and a fresh spark of inspiration for your future projects.

I’ve been teaching for the past six years, working with people of all ages, and I truly love being part of a creative community. I started running classes from my studio in London three years ago, and have recently moved to Bristol where I’ve set up a new space in Bishopston.
What I care about most is supporting people to move through their barriers around making art. I know how vulnerable it can feel to create, especially if you’re not feeling confident, so I aim to offer a space that’s encouraging, open, and explorative. I teach a range of techniques to help everyone find their own creative voice, and with small groups of up to four students, there’s plenty of time for individual support and guidance.
Alongside teaching, I’m a contemporary emerging artist and have exhibited in galleries across the UK and in Spain. My practice spans sculpture, drawing, and painting, and I love sharing that breadth of knowledge with my students. I’ll always gently push you towards your full potential, while keeping a strong focus on the joy and playfulness of making.
I also co-host a podcast called The Healthy Artist, where we talk about building a positive, sustainable relationship with creativity in a world that often pulls us away from it. Alongside this, I mentor artists in developing their practice, rebuilding confidence, and reconnecting with the joy of creating, as well as hosting online painting clubs for both figurative and abstract artists.
